Officers Jennifer Garcia and Andris Bisogno opened fire on Brito, 21, after he allegedly grabbed their police baton and began beating them in the hallway of the Van Dyke Houses in East New York on Saturday, police said.

The cops were investigating a 911 call about a suspicious person in the building and had asked Brito to show them I.D., according to the police account of the incident.

He was visiting a relative in the building, according to his sister.

Schneiderman's investigators were at the scene of the shooting, a law enforcement source.

The family has also retained civil rights lawyer Sanford Rubenstein to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

The incident would not seem to fall within the parameters of Gov. Cuomo's executive order which directs the state attorney general to replace the local prosecutor if there is a question as to whether the person who died in police custody was armed and posed a danger.
